Our organization is working to rid the world of landmines. Our organization is called “The Land is Mine”. Our name reflects our purpose, to clear land of mines in hot-spots around the world and make the places safer. By clearing these places, the cleared land can be given back to the local people or animals, thus re-building societies in war-torn countries and areas. Some of our work is done in Somalia by brave volunteers who risk their lives each day clearing landmines to help keep an area safe. On our website, we will have geography games of those countries in need of our help. For every question, the players get right, a dollar will be donated to those in need. That way our players not only learn about the kids who are suffering, but they can also contribute to our organization.
We are trying to target anyone possible who can support our organization. We want to donate as much as possible so the more people we have, the larger the donations will be. Hopefully word will spread through our efforts and website. We really can use all the help we can get to make this project as successful as possible. The more that is donated, the more child soldiers we can save.
Success Stories: The Land is Mine has freed thousands of child soldiers. These children are now being well educated instead of running around with guns. As a result, there is now a decreasing number of child soldiers in the world. The Land is Mine has given many children a safe and secure path to follow for the rest of their lives. Background and History: This organization was started by two eighth graders who believed that the world needs to be safe for people to live in. One of the Major problems in the world is landmines. The U.N. has organizations set up to help find and destroy landmines. The two eighth graders believed that they too could help the world, so they set up an organization called “The Land is Mine”. Future Projects: We are planning to help those in Bosnia. There are many kids in need and we hope to serve them and change their lives. We want to be the difference in those children’s lives. We will be sure to put forth our best effort to help save these kids.
